ICYMI-FYI: This really happened. Duh.
Not everyone is as safe an operator as USCCA Members, so if you are visiting someone else and are asked to start or preheat an oven, first check that it’s not loaded, not that someone staged a loaded gun in it.
Important Safety Tip: Don’t Store Firearms In Your Oven - Shooting News Weekly

My mom used to store her plastic Tupperware in the oven,… my ex wife didn’t check and nearly burned my mom’s house down!
As for staging a gun, I’d be more inclined to do the “kill bill” cereal box trick or have one in the fridge than the oven!
People put anything in ovens, even food to be cooked. Then leave it unattended and that overcooked food starts fires 
.
Unattended food cooking in or on stoves is often cause for fire alarms in municipalities.
Same for storing or stashing anything out of the way. We had new neighbors move in that put a large amount of paperwork in there oven then started supper. Next thing the Fire Department showed up in force.
No matter how convenient or temporary it’s not a great idea.
Ya everyone knows thats what microwaves are for! 
obviously sarcasm. Lol. Humans can sure be a big dumb animal
Yeah! 
Truth that!
but… everybody knows this 
gun fires by itself…
Looks like Voluntary Upgrade didn’t cover “oven environment” 
I read somewhere that cartridge rounds cooked off in a fire don’t travel far, not as far as a round fired form a gun. Regardless, I don’t want to be in threat vacinity and find out that I was too close.
They don’t. As long as round is not locked in chamber the casing can travel farther than projectile (few inches, low pressure, low energy).
i treat ovens as if someone handed me a gun, I check if it’s loaded or not.
My mother used to store pots and pans in the oven. She’d got pissed when she melted the plastic handles off the pans…
thank you 
!
That’s Retarded! 
Everyone knows ya keeps da shootin’ iron’s in da 'Fridge
so when’s da Crim breaks in ya can put dem ‘ON ICE!’
I keep a P-89 on the rack with a spare mag next ta da Butta dish! (doesn’t everybody?)
Correct.
When I was Army EOD (many decades ago) the preferred method to dispose of outdated 5.56, 7.62 or .45 ammo was burning it. You would put some wood in a 55 gallon drum, put it a case or 2 of ammo, a bit of diesel fuel, then light it and get about 10 yards away.
I don’t recall disposing of anything bigger than .45. Not sure if this method would be prudent for .50 BMG.
Thanks.
Thank you for your service Stuart. 
I plan on disposing a lot of my ammo down range towards the enemy in a very short time. The vitriol towards these Invaders seems to be ratcheting up since the stories coming out (true or not) of them EATING our House Cats, Geese, Dogs (anything w/ Furr that crawls?)
I don’t know why every one is upset? Growing up in NYC if you didn’t want to eat a stray cat you didn’t dine in a Chinese Restaurant? 
Thank you. It was my honor.
